"Barrett's Privateers" 40k edition
(originally by Stan Rogers)
Oh, the year was millennium 41,
HOW I WISH I WAS IN PORT MAW NOW!
A letter of marque came from the throne,
To the scummiest vessel I'd ever known,
Gods damn them all!
I was told we'd sail the stars for alien gold
We'd fire no guns-shed no tears
Now I'm a broken man on Halifax Pier
The last of Barrett's Privateers.
Oh, Elcid Barrett cried the town,
HOW I WISH I WAS IN PORT MAW NOW!
For two thousand men all merchanters who
would make for him the Antelope's crew
Gods damn them all!
I was told we'd sail the stars for alien gold
We'd fire no guns-shed no tears
Now I'm a broken man on Halifax Pier
The last of Barrett's Privateers
The Antelope sloop was a sickening sight,
HOW I WISH I WAS IN PORT MAW NOW!
She'd a list to the port and her drive core sags
And the cook in scuppers with the staggers and the jags
Gods damn them all!
I was told we'd sail the stars for alien gold
We'd fire no guns-shed no tears
Now I'm a broken man on Halifax Pier
The last of Barrett's Privateers
On Candlemass day we sailed away,
HOW I WISH I WAS IN PORT MAW NOW!
We were 91 days to Agrellan Bay
Praying like madmen all the way
Gods damn them all!
I was told we'd sail the stars for alien gold
We'd fire no guns-shed no tears
Now I'm a broken man on Halifax Pier
The last of Barrett's Privateers
On the 96th day we sailed again,
HOW I WISH I WAS IN PORT MAW NOW!
When a bloody great xenos hove in sight
With our light macros we made to fight
Gods damn them all!
I was told we'd sail the stars for alien gold
We'd fire no guns-shed no tears
Now I'm a broken man on Halifax Pier
The last of Barrett's Privateers
The T'au was sluggish weighed down with gold,
HOW I WISH I WAS IN PORT MAW NOW!
She was broad and fat and loose in the stays
But to catch her in the warp took two whole days
Gods damn them all!
I was told we'd sail the stars for alien gold
We'd fire no guns-shed no tears
Now I'm a broken man on Halifax Pier
The last of Barrett's Privateers
Then at length we stood two klicks away,
HOW I WISH I WAS IN PORT MAW NOW!
Our light macros made an awful din
But with one lance strike the T'au stove us in
Gods damn them all!
I was told we'd sail the stars for alien gold
We'd fire no guns-shed no tears
Now I'm a broken man on Halifax Pier
The last of Barrett's Privateers
The Antelope shook and pitched on her side,
HOW I WISH I WAS IN PORT MAW NOW!
Barrett was smashed like a bowl of eggs
And the blast door carried off both me legs
Gods damn them all!
I was told we'd sail the stars for alien gold
We'd fire no guns-shed no tears
Now I'm a broken man on Halifax Pier
The last of Barrett's Privateers
So here I lay in my 23rd year,
HOW I WISH I WAS IN PORT MAW NOW!
It's been 6 years since we sailed away
And I just made Halifax yesterday
Gods damn them all!
I was told we'd sail the stars for alien gold
We'd fire no guns-shed no tears
Now I'm a broken man on Halifax Pier
The last of Barrett's Privateers
Anyone else got something fun?

Agreed, but I made it "gods" because, in my head, the subject converted because of the ordeals the imperium put them through
